2008 Audi A4 2.0L Petrol · GD08 CYO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 9 June 2026 at 145,599 miles. The maintenance trend shows a period of improvement following a significant failure in June 2025. While the 2024 and 2023 tests were clean, the 2025 record indicates a lapse where the previous owner neglected multiple mechanical and safety items simultaneously before addressing them. The mileage profile is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 3,070 miles driven between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 4,768 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for preventing de-oxidation-related degradation of rubber components and fluid systems. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The June 2025 test flagged both nearside and offside front upper suspension arm bushes as worn. Although these were cleared for the 2026 test, these components on this Audi generation are prone to cracking. The buyer should check for any play in the steering assembly or uneven tyre wear that might indicate the bushes are beginning to fail again. The 2025 failure also highlighted thin front brake pads and tyres reaching the legal limit. Given that these were likely replaced shortly after that failure, the buyer must verify the remaining life of the current pads and the condition of the discs to ensure they are not scored or thin. The reported engine management indicator light failure in 2025 suggests an electronic sensor fault was present and cleared; the buyer should ensure there are no lingering fault codes stored in the vehicle's memory.
